LET ME STEAL THIS MOMENT FROM YOU NOW

Blatantly Attempting to Pack a Reading. Two, Actually.

Just to let you know, when I do my fiction reading on Saturday at 10am with Peter Watts and Jon Courtenay Grimwood, I’m bringing an ARC of The God Engines with me to give away. To someone. At the reading. If you want to have a chance to be the one who gets it, then you should show up. To the reading. On Saturday at 10am. With me, Peter Watts and Jon Courtenay Grimwood.

Also, when I do my Best Related Book reading on Friday at 12:30pm, with Farah Mendlesohn and Paul Kincaid, I’m bringing a copy of my chapbook Waiting for Athena with me to give away. To someone. At the reading! And etc. Same deal as above: Must be present to have a chance to win. If you’re not there YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOSE. In more ways than one. And that would be sad.

Nothing wrong with a little bribery.
And here is an example of why reading is good. Chapbook? Uh what? hmm, google to the rescue! Now I know what a chapbook is. The fact that I have made it through four plus decades without haveing heard the word and could easily go another four decades without using it doesn’t matter, I’ve got a new word in my arsenal.

@Cassie: “Waiting for Athena” was the chapbook that was included as a bonus with the limited version of “Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded” from Subterranean Press.

I’d love to go to the readings, but unfortunately can’t make the trip… Peter Watts’ reading should also be fun – his hardcore scifi short work is excellent, and I’m a big fan of his work. Scalzi and Watts – should be an awesome reading.

Can you change the fiction reading time? Twelve post meridiem would be better for me. I’m a bit of a night owl, just can’t seem to wake up before high noon. Pushing back the reading a few hours would be appreciated. Thanks for the passing audible.
